...best development of genius under uncomfortable circumstances, but then not many of us have genius. Great genius may survive conflicts with circumstances and gain strength at the same time, but a little genius is quickly and not uneasily destroyed. But great genius is rare among men in comparison with the small genius, which is possessed in a greater or less degree by everybody.

If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well...
...candidates, or in support of those already presented will be in order. After all the nominations have been made, the result of the Union university canvass, which has been in progress during the past fortnight for first and second choice for presidential candidates will be announced. For purposes of comparison the result of the canvass in February 1880 will be announced at the same time. The meeting will undoubtedly be of much interest and a large attendance is expected...
